If you connect your phone to mtkdroid tools, click on 'to process file ROM_from flashtool' then navigate to your ROM_0 select it and click ok, the tool will extract the files to the folder 'xxxx_forflashtoolfromreadback_xxxx' the tool will ask if you want to create cwm automatically, click no and the tool will complete its task. Once that is complete if you go to that file in your backup folder in mtktools you will find the file 'factory_NONmodified recovery.img' which you can flash with SPflashtool if you wish.

Not sure if your phone will still be rooted after flashing though, all done at your own risk of course:cool:

MT6572 - use SP v3.13XXX.150 tool

Hi,

I did manage to flash my phone (only to make it stone dead) but I used SP tool v3.13XXX150..the tool version ending with 150 works on MT6572 phones.. However, be warned that I'm still struggling to find a ROM for my Intex cloud Y2 phone since the phone does not boot at all..even I'm unable to get into the factory reset mode as nothing happens on using the power and vol keys nor is my phone being detected by any flash tools now :(...

Plz do let me know if some one can help though.. But yes, SP Flast tool V3.13XXXX ending with 150 version does flash mt6572 phones. Hope this helps.

MT6572

Dear Mr.Rua1

I have a smartphone , Allview A5 DUO , procesor dual core 1,2 , JB 4.2.2 ,Kernel 3.4.5 , as seen in the picture below(information about phone+Block Maps).

Could not create with MTKDroid Tools 2.4.8 scatter file.Then I modified MTKdroid Tools.ini :

Before it was

:

[Platforms]

MTKsocs = ^MT65(16|73|75|77|89)

; Regular expression all MTK SP FlashTool SOCs

SocToScatName = 6513:6573,6515:6575,6517:6577,8317:6577,8377:6577,8389:6589

; Compliance of SOC name and scatter name (If differ)

After:

[Platforms]

MTKsocs = ^MT65(16|72|75|77|89)

; Regular expression all MTK SP FlashTool SOCs

SocToScatName = 6513:6573,6515:6575,6517:6577,8317:6577,8377:6577,8389:6589

; Compliance of SOC name and scatter name (If differ)

I changed 73 with 72 and I could create MT6572_Android_scatter_emmc.txt.

I followed the steps described by you and made a Backup - Backup user data and cache with MTKdroid Tools and !Files_to_FlashTool(files for Flash with SP Flash Tool) :

boot.img

cache.img

EBR1

EBR2

LK

logo.bin

MBR

MT6572.Android_scatter_emmc.txt

preloader.bin

recovery.img

system.img

userdata.img

Backup files from more than one, attach a picture

SP Flash tool does not load MT6572_Android_scatter_emmc.txt. I download SP Flash Tool V3.1316 and load MT6572_Android_scatter_emmc.txt.

V3.1316 has in platform.xml :

<platform name="MT6572_S00"

simple_name="MT6572"

usb_download_support="true"

dl_auto_detect_battery="true"

is_auto_polling_enable="false"

auto_polling_upper_limit="500"

auto_format_all_support = "true"

S01 it does not, or does not have?

My request: a MTKdroid Tools and SP Flash Tool for MT6572 , complete, reliable operation

thank you
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] oscarblue48:
Sorry if you are having problems with this tool, your phone, mt6572 is a relatively new device and the tool does not fully support it, hopefully [MENTION=5119815]rua1[/MENTION] will be able to increase support for it in the next upgrade of mtkdroid tools. I am no expert but I believe the mt6572 has a different file system to other mediatek devices and for the developer to make the tool work with every mtk device is a tall order, as there are many many different mediatek devices out there, so he must rely on feedback from users like yourself to iron out any problems, as for the SPFlashtool, this is produced by Mediatek and not by Rua1. You may be able to find a little more information on the russian thread for droid tools, there is a link to it in the first post.

If I follow this instruction http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=38337401&postcount=5 up to point 6.

In point 4 I should use "0x375e8000" from scatter file.

I don't know why the uboot block does not appear, have to put that down to a glitch in the software I guess, but I had the same problem with the secro.img, I asked rua1 about it and his explanation is somewhere in this thread, but basically the sec_ro block is of little or no value so it is not needed in most cases, however if you have the file nodl_secro.bin in your backup file then you can copy and paste it into !files_to_flashtool and then rename it to secro.img

Hello guys,

I got my MT65xx device today, but its empty. While rebooting, i just get into stock android recovery.

however, There is just no ROM installed on the device. I have a backup on my pc using: adb pull /system/ , but the kernel is not

not in /system.

Do you guys know on what partition the kernel is located? because i have adb acces for 5 seconds when booting , before it goes in recovery mode.

maybe i can adb pull it.

Read back

It is very simple :

In SP Flash Tool load file scater.txt(about me - MT6572_Android_scatter_emmc) and click Red back and the line appears :

N/A(ticket) Start address = 0x000000.... Lenght = 0x00001000 File = ROM_0.Double click on it , then Save ROM_0)

Then there window Read back block start address . Have to write : Start address=0x000000 , Lenght = 0x3c9c0000(is my block address CACHE from my scatter.txt file).You may have other.

Then click on button read back (next button Remove) , power off the phone and remove the battery , Insert the battery and begin writing.

It takes about 15 minutes , and the resulting file ROM_0 , it has no extension. - see picture.

As seen in the image, this file(ROM_0) has 1.016.856.577 bytes or 969 MB , write 15 min 04 sec , opens with MTKdroid Tools -->root,backup,recovery-->To Process File ROM_from FlashTool . In MTKdroidTools in folder backups a new folder appears :

Can anyone help me here? I have a phone Colors Xfactor Star 4.0 (x40) which has mtk 6572 soc which I rooted using MtkDroid Tools but I accidentally deleted one of the files from system/app. I don't have cwm installed and my phone is stuck in boot loop. MtkDroid tools made a backup when I rooted but it lacks scatter file, and system.img file. Instead there is system folder in the backedup folder with all the contents that should be inside system.img file.

I created scatter file using firmware.info. However when I load that scatter file in Sptool and tried to flash recovery.img, Sptools throws an error because of mismatch of naming in the scatter file and the table.

No matter that the phone is Rooted.Read carefully what he says rua1, who is the author of the program:

"4. Determine the ROM_ size

Type has to stand in HEX. In the field of Start Address it is necessary to write down 0x000000. In the field of Length we copy from scatter the address of the block following after RECOVERY or the address of other block for fuller backup. For phones with type of the blocks EXT4 it is the

Hi oscarblue48,

My device was rooted (green square - root shell). But at the moment I have a bigger problem - I almost bricked my tablet. I cannot turn it on but it responds to flashing (I can still flash it via SP Flash Tool).

If you want to know what happened here it is:

1 - I experimented with MTK Tools generated boot.img and recovery.img and some other I found on the internet .. AND I noticed that my 3G modem stopped working (no SIM card detected / grayed out SIM management in the settings)

2 - I started flashing my full backup made with MTK Tools... but the modem remained "dead"

3 - I formatted the whole Flash memory and flashed the backup again - this time the device didn't even turn on.

So if anyone has any ideas how to revive my device please let me know :)

Thank you.

-------------------------------UPDATE----------------------------------

I was able to revive my tablet - while doing the restore in SP Flash tool I had to manually select the uboot.bin to be flashed along with automatically selected files.

BUT... I still cannot get my modem running.

I'm trying to restore the IMEI - by updating just the number or entire NVRAM in MTK Droid Tools (2.4.8) but after reboot the value goes back to "null".

Any idea?

On post 5 picture 1 it says:

Minimum necessary for creation CWM : 01588000

My phone only got 0000FC0000 in the same field (scatter)

Does this mean I can't root my cellphone? I tried everything it feels like.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] oscarblue48:
No, the address 01588000 is the beginning of the recovery block on the device rua1 was using, your device is probably completely different, the address you use determines the size of the rom, when I did it I used the beginning of the cache block (227E8000 in the example)which then includes all blocks before it from preloader to, and including Android. When he says its the minimum necessary, he means the minimum number of blocks, that is from preloader to, and including bootimg.
